In what year did Future Homemakers of America and New Homemakers of America merge?

The merging of Future Homemakers of America (FHA) and New Homemakers of America (NHA) took place in 1965. This significant event combined two organizations that focused on home economics, providing a unified platform to enhance leadership skills and promote the importance of family and community life among young women. The merger expanded the outreach and impact of the programs, allowing for a more diverse membership and broader educational opportunities. The unification represented a pivotal moment in the evolution of the organization, leading to what is now known as FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America), which continues to prepare students for personal and professional success in various aspects of life.

Other years listed do not correspond to this pivotal event; each represents different significant moments in the history of home economics organizations, but none coincide with the merger itself.
